    Maybe if you could get the setup disk onto a USB disk as a ISO image... what is the make model of what you have?
    As RSone says probably best shot to take it to the mpnet geek thread...
    If you can't get into safe mode and don't have a disk drive, you're SOL. You can use a ISO image of the disk(or if needed, gotten of the internet) on a USB storage device and boot it from there, that should get your windows environment to act like it was booted of a disk, and it should offer you an option to 'repair windows'. NTLDR is a critical file that helps load windows. Shorthand for NT Loader(ever since Windows 2000, all Windows operating systems have been based on the NT kernel)

    Everyone seems to be having computer problems lately... Hell, even mine has decided to degrade more since it first broke down several weeks ago. Progressively gets worse each passing day. But, I will run it into its shallow grave.

    Normally there should be a description of items but I can't get it to pop up for any warehouse deal items.

    Anyone got any tricks?
    Almost all of my games come from Amazon Warehouse if I buy them used as I have prime and get fast shipping.

    I haven't heard of anybody having problems with any orders whether it be games or otherwise.
    Sometimes I find warehouse deals that are marked like new, and some marked good and they have all been in very good shape. Usually with used things from Amazon they are always in good shape even with "acceptable" unless otherwise noted.

    If you need more help, don't hesitate to PM me or post in the geek thread. Happy to help if I can. I've dealt with a few brick situations on multiple computers. From the looks of it, it's by no means lost.

    Mine seems a bit lathargic which it should not be. Time to tinker.

    Hmm interesting. Some further reading suggests that items are either just opened / packaging damaged or slight cosmetic damage.
    hmmm tempting.

    Yeah, most likely somebody bought it opened it maybe used it once or played around with a few pictures and decided they wanted something else

    You should be fine, and it being amazon it wouldn't be hard to return it yourself if need be

    Well I'll be damned...I'm having computer problems, too. The worst part is, the USB's don't work, so I'll need to buy a network cable to move the files to another computer before running the recovery disk.

    Yeah but the 2nd one, while equally despicable and annoying, helps shy dudes get laid. Assange doesn't.
